Abstract excerpt
Analysis of aphakia (ak) gene expression in ak/ak C/C in equilibrium +/+ c/c experimental chimaeras has shown that the ak gene acts in the lens rudiment cells blocking it differentiation. In the lens of 12 day old ak/ak C/C in equilibrium +/+ c/c chimaeric embryos undifferentiated ak/ak cells were present among the normally differentiating fibres. In 14 and 18 day old chimaeric embryos and 20 day old chimaeric...
